Rivera Mural, April 2022

Diego Rivera

Mexican, 1886-1957

Fresco

 

I visit the DIA frequently. It's a world class museum, only difference is that some may be larger. It's often said the most important art at the museum are the Rivera murals.

 

Description

Rivera depicts the manufacturing process of the exterior automobile parts, focusing on technology as an important quality of the future. He allegories this concept through one of the huge parts-pressing machines depicted in the mural. The machine is meant to symbolize the creation story of the Aztec goddess Coatlicue.

 

I find Rivera to be great artist but a disgusting person, especially how he treated women, some he abused.
